I pay child support. I'm a full-time student. I'm unemployed and collect it. I'm married. I live in a town monopolized by one organization called Cross Country. I am only available to work after class is out (I start at 8am to 3pm). I'm not a deadbeat. Going to college means I am bettering myself and not just sitting on my ass. These are the facts. Here's my issue: It pisses me off that support amount is based on what I am "capable" of earning, otherwise known as my potential. I'm no rocket scientist, but is your earning potential really met in Sebring? Of course it’s not. So how am I supposed to pay support based on a $60,000 annual salary? Well, I don't, but that is the case for most men out there. Focus on the word I used: "men". I am not referring to you morons that ruin it for the rest of the upper class, placing us in the lower class just because you decide to prick the ant hill and watch them scatter without getting bitten. The fact of the matter is, all of us "men" and "morons" pay the same price, and it's a hefty one. If we don't pay support, we lose our driver’s license, up to the point of incarceration. A woman’s role in all this should be a supportive one; not “I’m going to get as much money out of him as I can.” This objective won’t work because what’s the point if we can’t afford it. You won’t get any money. And when you do get money, don’t brag about and refer to it as extra income. It’s not concert ticket or clothing money for you and your friends. It’s “support funding” for the child next to you. Remember the child? So, I propose all future funding is collected in a trust-type fund and then disbursed to the “ex” in the form of food stamps or a government verified funded card that can only be used for your child. Everyone is happy; I mean the child and the supporting father are happy. If you can’t buy that new Victoria Secret fitted bra you saw in the window because the “moron” didn’t make his payments, I guess you’ll actually have to use your own money. Remember, again, support comes from both parties. It is broken down by percent. And how did I get lucky to pay support off of only $7.50 an hour, instead of $60,000? I had a personal attorney, she lied in court, she thought she could take me to the bank, and thought crying in front of a Palm Beach judge would make the environment more sympathetic. I remember the look on the Dept. of Revenue’s representative’s face when my ex lied, then cried when my attorney caught her lying. Ladies, just because you get pregnant from having a one, second or third night stand doesn’t mean “men” are idiots. Don’t assume all of us are.
You play, you pay. Whatever happened to being responsbile for your own actions? Why would any man or woman leave birth control up to the other individual? Birth control is your responsibility and you cannot delegate responsibility to someone else. If you are a man who does not want a child or want to pay child support, then guess what? YOu should be using a condom not only for birth control purposes but also to prevent disease. anyone out there ever heard of things like HIV, genetial herpes to mention just a few. What?? "Just because you get pregnant from having a one, two or three night stand doesn't mean men are idiots? Well, obviously they are idiots if they are not doing something to protect their health and their wallets. Don't want a kid and payments? Then practice safe sex. If you don't, then guess what? Ain't her fault.
